Flying a Pelican on ReclaimerWhoa. Did you know that you can fly a pelican in Reclaimer? (Not Shutdown, where you START in a Pelican... the level BEFORE that. The one with the Mammoth.) Nowise10 discovered this last night, and filmed it in tutorial form. (I also had no idea it had a secondary fire mode... but that's probably just me being clueless.) Pretty awesome stuff!

Hunting Achievements - or just funMore AchievementHunter content for you: we'll start with a Let's Play on the Crimson Maps (Episode 2, to be specific). 25 minutes of AH crew abusing each other, both verbally and in-game. Pretty fun! (Thanks, Wahrer Machine.) When you're done with that, check out Achievement HORSE 107 - again, it's PIG, and Ray and Jack face off in some pretty cool maps. Watch this on AH.com or YouTube - thanks, Nikko B201. (Louis Wu 18:36:33 UTC) (permalink)

CNN puts Halo 4 on a pedestalCNN posted their 10 Best Video Games of 2012... and Halo 4 came in at #4. (Pretty funny sidenote - when this went live yesterday, the image that represented Halo 4 was actually from Black Ops II - which didn't make the list. They've fixed it now.) Thanks, Avateur.
